| If you have Visual Studio Premium or Ultimate, it has a comparison feature: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd193250(v=vs.100).aspx |

| I can't think of a simple T-SQL based way of doing this comparison. The only thing that comes to mind is to script all objects in each database (Tasks -> Generate Scripts from the context menu in SSMS when you right-click on the database name), save the files to separate folders and then use a file comparison utility. I am not sure if the files will compare exactly because of datestamps etc. that may get inserted into the scripts generated. |
